The important thing to remember is that I have all the softy soft softest Heritage brushes and they will never again be ever so awesome as the awesomeness of the old stuff.
So there.

I have a question about gel tip hair. I've read through this thread and couldn't get a clear answer about what type of hair has gel tips. Is it only finest or can blonde or super have gel tips as well? I'm curious because I think my L7 is a gel tip, but it's labeled as blonde hair.

You are, of course, referring to the now legendary, old Rooney Heritage 3-band hair. Right?
I've thankfully stopped chasing my tail when it comes to brushes. I've sold the harsher hair, and I've got enough soft-tipped brushes, including a great 2-band Simpson CH3, to last me a life time. Though I still think of a Stubby 2 in jade or tortoise from time to time
We need more pics!
I also hope I am done chasing brushes. My collection is made up of super soft 3 band and 2 band and various handle shapes and materials.
My Old Rooney & M&F brushes make up more then 1/2 my collection and I'd be happy using only these. For the most part, they make up 90% of use and not sure how I could improve on them.

The one on the left looks like one of the super-stuffed unobtainable brushes once available through classic shaving.
I think it's just that horn requires a little more meticulous care than fake horn, and they look more or less the same. That's not to say there is no value to a nice natural horn brush, but I think there are many people who would just rather have something that looks very much like horn, but is low-maintenance like acrylic.
